Issues : Authentic corrections of FE

In A, Chopin overlooked two necessary accidentals – a to f and a to b. Both inaccuracies were removed in FE (→GE,EE). By contrast, in the R.H. part, the to b1 in the middle of the bar was unnecessarily repeated; it was included in all editions. We omit this accidental in the main text. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , FE revisions |

The longer slur of FE (→GE,EE) must have resulted from Chopinesque proofreading. It is proven by the corrections to the slurs of A in b. 112-114, moving in this direction. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the slur added in the stage of proofreading FE2. The absence of the slur in A could have been caused by corrections – see the preceding note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors resulting from corrections , Authentic corrections of FE |

According to us, the sharp over the mordent, added almost certainly by Chopin while proofreading FE (→EE), does not change the sound, but specifies the incomplete notation of A. It is already the G minor chord in the preceding bar that suggests the further direction of the modulation; a modulation that, through the G minor key (featuring a), showed explicitly in the octave sequence in the discussed bar, and the e-g-b-d chord in the next two bars strives for the dominant chord in D minor in b. 126 (which found its eventual resolution on E major 12 bars later). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE , Inaccuracies in A |
